We are a family of three in transition. We spent years being frugal and are now at a crossroad. We'd like to retire from our day jobs in two years or less. Our retirement goals are to provide our daughter with the best education she desires; travel; and find new careers - perhaps part-time that we really enjoy. I hope to post both "frugal" and "personal finance" information. NOTE: I am not a professional on either subject. My posts are purely entertainment :)

5/30 Expressions
Frugal deeds for the day: Tsk, tsk . . . it finally happened. Even though I was pre-selected for the Kroger card - to receive $100 for spending $200 - my application was rejected - because - something to the effect that I had too much available unsecured credit. Very, very, sad. May be they've realized I am a serial credit card opener - and spend what I "have" to - and then go back to my favorite card. In any case, I am shocked - but not too sad. So, for a pick-me-up, my daughter and I baked cookies this afternoon - a batch of peanut butter and a batch of white chocolate chip. I also made a batch of Tzaziki and we ate some with manager special organic blue corn tortilla chips .99/bag. I also "won" a SAT interactive handheld thing for my daughter to lug around - great way to use free time - don't you think :) Hopefully an increase in SAT score will be a decrease in my $ outflow. I also "won" 3 pairs of jeans for her. Both of these were free shipping - so, no $ out of my pocket :)
